Ashley Judd Talks Endlessly About Her Emotional Problems
Then buzz it up

Cool - it looks as if today's the day for actresses to bare their souls to the comforting confines of a glossy magazine. First we read about all of Hilary Swank's big problems, and now Ashley Judd's on the case, too.
Ashley Judd has been pouring her heart out to Glamour magazine about a recent 47-day rehab course to deal with an emotional distress and compulsion to clean stemming from her hyper-vigilant behaviour brought on from a basic lack of security during her childhood. Which is great, except for one thing - we wouldn't know who Ashley Judd was if she slapped us in the mouth.
OK, we looked it up on IMDB.com, and we sort of know who Ashley Judd is now - she was the wife of the paint store owner in Kuffs. Helpful? We'd guess not. But, despite being so flawlessly unknown that most right-thinking human beings couldn't give the first stuff about anything to do with her, Glamour magazine still managed to slap Ashley Judd on the cover of its latest issue and tell her to ramble on about her emotional problems until they ran out of ink.
Ashley Judd - Grace Mulberry in the deleted scenes of Natural Born Killers - underwent a 47-day treatment course to help her deal with issues from her past including depression, isolation and co-dependent relationships. And now she's out of it, she wants everyone to know about it. Here's an excerpt from the interview, about when counsellors noticed Judd's emotional problems while she was visiting her sister in treatment centre for food addiction:
"They said, 'No one ever does an intervention on people like you. You look too good. You're too smart and together. But you (and sister Wynonna) come from the same family, so you come from the same wound.' No one had validated my pain before."
You see, according to People magazine:
In recounting her childhood, Judd, 38, describes herself as a "hyper-vigilant child" who attempted to behave perfectly in order to compensate for her lack of security. She went to 13 schools in 12 years and shifted from living with her mother, her father and her grandparents.
Wow, who'd have thought that minor film actresses would be filled with so many self-indulgent neuroses? It just goes to show - playing Ensign Robin Lefler in Star Trek: The Next Generation doesn't immediately solve all of your life's problems.

Are you joking! Ashley Judd is a majorly successful actress in the States. Just because you peole live in a second world country doesn’t give your bitterness at being ‘left-behind’ the right to bash real stars. Who do you have? Sienna Miller? What a joke!

‘Majorly’? Not even a Brit would spell it that way.
As for Judd’s being ‘majorly’ successful, who are you kidding? She’s a trollop who rode the coattails of her trashy diseased mother and drunken overweight sister, who used to warble lame songs together until their natural dislike of each other drove them apart.
What’s the last opening Ashley Judd’s had besides the one where she spewed a NASCAR grease monkey’s brat?
As an actress, she’s definitely second-rate.
Spare me. And just to set the record straight before you get on your high horse, I’m in the US.
